Wolf will start vs. Seattle on Monday.

The Flames are coming off a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators, where Wolf allowed four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%), and he will return to the crease on Monday against the Seattle Kraken. The 24-year-old Wolf has a 2.86 GAA and .900 SV% in 32 games this season (14-15-2). The Flames enter the action on Monday as -141 home favorites against a rolling Seattle Kraken team that has points in seven straight games (6-0-1).

Tsyplakov will draw back into New York's lineup vs. Utah on Thursday.

The Islanders will make some changes to their forward group on Thursday, with Maxim Tsyplakov and Kyle MacLean drawing into the lineup for Anthony Duclair and Marc Gatcomb. The 27-year-old Tsyplakov's second-year struggles in the NHL continue, with only one point (1G / 0A) in 21 games. He had 35 points (10G / 25A) last year in his rookie season.

Strome will be a healthy scratch vs. Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Ross Johnston will draw back into Anaheim's lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending Strome to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Strome has been a healthy scratch several times and has seemingly fallen out of favor in Anaheim, averaging a career-low 11:51 time-on-ice and scoring only six points (2G / 4A) in 21 games.

Wolf will start vs. Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Wolf has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four (3-1-0), posting a solid 2.45 GAA and .916 SV%, and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 24-year-old Wolf has a subpar 2.89 GAA and .899 SV% in 30 games this season (13-14-2), but has been much better in recent weeks. The Flames enter Wednesday's contest as -133 home favorites against a Flyers team that defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 last night.

Calgary has signed Devin Cooley to a two-year contract worth $1.35M AAV ($2.7M total).

Cooley has unexpectedly been excellent in a supporting role in his first season as a full-time NHL backup and has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension. The 28-year-old California-born goalie has a solid 2.40 GAA and .914 SV% in 13 appearances (4-4-2).

Wolf will start vs. Boston on Monday.

Wolf was stellar in his most recent outing, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The 24-year-old goalie returns to the crease on Monday against the Boston Bruins, looking to build on a 2.96 GAA and .897 SV% through 29 games this season (12-14-2). The Flames enter Monday's contest as -127 home favorites against a Bruins team that has been outscored 23-10 during a five-game losing skid (0-4-1).

Wolf will start Saturday vs. the Oilers.

Wolf gave up five goals on 39 shots in the Flames' 5-1 loss in Edmonton on Tuesday. He'll come out of the Christmas break with another start vs. the Oilers, who are 8-2-1 in their last 11 games while scoring an absurd 4.5 goals per game. Wolf has the fifth-lowest implied win% (43.6%) and sixth-highest implied goals against (3.4) on the slate, so he's a risky option on Saturday.

Wolf will start in Edmonton on Tuesday.

After a horrendous start to the season, Wolf has played significantly better lately, winning five of his last six (5-1-0) while posting a solid 2.25 GAA and .916 SV%. The 24-year-old sophomore goalie has a 2.92 GAA and .896 SV% in 27 games this season (11-13-2). The Flames enter Tuesday's contest as +144 road underdogs against the Edmonton Oilers, whom they defeated 4-3 in a shootout in their only meeting this season.

Tsyplakov will be a healthy scratch vs. New Jersey on Tuesday.

Maxim Shabanov returns to New York's lineup on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils, resulting in Tysplakov being a healthy scratch. After a solid first year in the NHL last season, scoring 35 points (10G / 25A) in 75 games, Tsyplakov has had a miserable 2025-26 season, with just one goal through 21 games.
